After the three of them had eaten and drunk their fill, they prepared to go find Kogoro Mouri who was drunk in the tavern.

Although Xiaolan said that she was heartless, she still remembered to pack a portion for Kogoro Mouri before leaving.

When the few people arrived at the tavern, Kogoro Mouri was drinking and bragging to the girl next to him about how he had found some crucial evidence with his sharp eyes and golden vision, and how he was able to turn the tide and help the police solve some case. Although he couldn't explain the details clearly, it did not stop him from praising himself to the sky.

When Chu Ming and his companions wanted to take him away, he was still reluctant to leave and even tried to tempt them with food.

"Waiter, bring another bottle of beer, give them each a glass of orange juice and a fast food meal. You haven't eaten yet, right? Eat first and I'll have some more."

Xiaolan quickly called the waiter and looked at Maori Kogoro helplessly: "Dad, you drank too much. That's enough. We have already eaten. Come back with us."

Maori Kogoro held onto the bar tightly: "Let me have one more drink! Just one! There are so many people here, Xiaolan, please give me some face and don't hold me back. I really only want one last drink!"

Conan looked at the stubborn Maori Kogoro and said coldly, "But if others saw the famous detective Maori Kogoro drunk in a tavern late at night, wouldn't it be very embarrassing?"

When someone in the tavern heard the name Kogoro Mori, his face changed instantly.

Chu Ming had sharp eyes and saw the whole process of the man's facial expression changing. He secretly raised his eyebrows. There was someone here who was so terrified of Mao. He must be the murderer and a case was about to happen.

Maori Kogoro, who has a lot of idol baggage, froze immediately after hearing what Conan said: "Uh... you're right, then let's go back quickly, let's go."

"Are you the famous detective, Mr. Maori Kogoro?" A man who was drinking with his friends in the pub looked up in surprise. "My name is Matsutomo Arata, and this is my friend Tanaka Yura. Do I have the honor to invite you to sit down and have a drink with me? I really want to hear the details of your case handling! I'll treat you!"

When Maori Kogoro saw his fans in the bar, he immediately perked up, straightened his clothes, and cleared his throat: "Hahaha, I'm Detective Maori Kogoro. As for having a drink, hehe——"

Maori Kogoro hadn't drunk enough to begin with, and now someone invited him, Xiaolan couldn't stop him, so how could he not agree? "How can I say that? Hahaha, then I will--"

Before he could finish his words, Tanaka Yura raised his head and challenged Maori Kogoro with disdain: "You are too noisy. What kind of detective is this? I don't want to drink with any detective. It's disgusting! The two of us are drinking happily. His coming here will only spoil our mood."

Kogoro Mori stopped where he was, not knowing whether to go or leave.

Chu Ming glanced at Tanaka Yura and came to Maori Kogoro's rescue: "Uncle, let's go back? We originally said that we would eat alone without you, but Xiaolan still packed a seafood feast for you. Let's buy some barbecue on the way back. If you didn't drink enough, why not have some more at the hotel?"

Maori Kogoro quickly took the step: "Ah-well, let's go."

Matsutomo Arata was embarrassed and apologized to Maori Kogoro repeatedly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Maori, he was not like this before. This time he was drunk--"

Drunk? Chu Ming gave a sarcastic smile. This person was not drunk at all. He was obviously pretending to be drunk.

The purpose of pretending to be drunk is to provoke?

Or - he was using provocation to deepen the impression on others and thus forge an alibi.

Just as they walked to the door and opened it to go out, a pretty girl rushed in, looking anxious: "Mr. Tanaka, have you seen Guangzi?"

"We agreed to meet in the evening, but she didn't show up at the appointed time, and she wasn't at home either. Do you know where she went?"

Tanaka's eyes flickered. "No, I've been drinking here with my friends, and I have nothing to do with Guangzi. What's the point of you asking me? Go away, don't stop me from drinking."

Yamada Tomoko, the girl who rushed in, was full of anger: "You bastard, you——"

Matsutomo Arata quickly reached out to stop the girl who was about to pounce on Dr. Tanaka and tried to persuade her to leave in a gentle manner. Then he heaved a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his head, and looked back at Tanaka Yura helplessly: "I'm telling you, can't you be more tactful when speaking…"

Without paying any more attention to the two of them, Xiaolan urged Kogoro Mouri to hurry back to the hotel.

Along the way, she kept complaining to Kogoro Mori that he had been drinking all night and had not eaten anything, and he was not afraid of hurting his stomach.

Maori Kogoro refuted vaguely, muttering to himself that Xiaolan was really becoming more and more like her mother...

When passing the beach, Chu Ming subconsciously looked into the sea. He saw a strong magnetic field surrounding the sea. Due to the distance, it could not automatically attract him. It seemed that this should be the person killed by Dr. Tanaka in the tavern.

Chu Ming looked at the three people arguing in front of him, thought about it and decided not to call them. Anyway, according to this trend, Conan and Xiaolan should be able to find the body when they go diving tomorrow, and they can absorb the magnetic field then.

Otherwise, he couldn't explain why he could find a body sunk to the bottom of the sea at such a distance and in such a dark night...

Conan turned around accidentally and saw Chu Ming staring at the sea in a daze. He asked curiously, "Brother Chu Ming, what are you looking at?"

"Look at the magnetic field." Chu Ming answered casually, "The feng shui here doesn't seem to be very good."

"..." Feeling that he was being attacked by unscientific knowledge, Conan turned back depressedly, "Forget it."

Chu Ming said that he was extremely innocent and was clearly telling the truth. Not only did Conan not believe him, but he also slandered him. That was too much.

Chu Ming politely declined Kogoro Maori's invitation to accompany him to drink beer. He planned to rest early. After he finished using the magnetic field tomorrow, he could ask the organization to send a car over. Otherwise, it would not be convenient to arrange the route without a car.

Just as he lay down on the bed, stretched his muscles and prepared to fall asleep, the crystal ball that was originally given to Kaito Kidd suddenly trembled and flashed white light.

Hmm??? Kidd is looking for him???

The crystal ball was actually a pair of main and auxiliary communicators. He recorded Kidd's voice into the auxiliary communicator, which only had a one-way communication function. As long as Kidd shouted "Lucifer" to the crystal ball, it would automatically dial Chu Ming. So when he threw the crystal ball to Kidd, he told it to call his name when in danger...

Chu Ming turned on the main communicator and used the video function to take a one-way peek at Kidd's current situation.

Kidd was half-kneeling on the ground at this time, surrounded by blazing flames, and in front of him was Koizumi Akako.

Kidd's face was full of pain: "Lucifer, you, you said, - uh, you will protect me until I come of age - where is your human, uh, no, where is your demon?"

This - isn't it embarrassing... He is a pirated demon king, but Koizumi Hongzi is an authentic magician, and how can he teleport to Tokyo now?

No, he had to think of a way, otherwise he wouldn't be able to gain Kidd's emotional value next time.
